DON'T BE A CRANK.
If in life you would strias a summit to
reach
Through the study of law or scholars to
teaoh,
Or perhaps be a parson or heed of a bank,
Give thought to it wisely and dont be a
crook.
And if as a merchant or knight of the
hod,
Or hale hearty farmer wba ploughs up
the sod,
Or else ne a soldier bask in the rear rank,
Still bear it in mind and pray dont be a
crank.
If yon serve at a counter or else digging
drains,
Where mused° rates higher than great
weight of brains,
Act kind and obliging, let entail things be
sank,
And your motto read this way, "Dont be
a crank."
As member of order who seek to do good,
Dont hasten to blackball, no true mem-
ber should,
From you some may differ, though hon-
est and frank,
Adt ont your part manly and dont be a
crank.
Aa drawer of water or hewer of wood,
No matter how humble, all labor is good,
Choose you to not ugly or play any
pranks,
The good Lord made man but he didn't
make pranks.
H. J. Wureme., Kin oardiue.
PRAYING FOR 51-.10E9.
On a dark November morning
A lady walked slowly down
The thronged, tumultuous thoroughfare
Of an ancient seaport sown.
0f a winning and grucioue beauty,
The peace on het pure young faoe
Was Oft as the gleam of an an,3,el's dream
In the calms of a heavenly place.
Her eyes were fountains of pity,
And the sensitive mouth expressed
A longing to set the kind thoughts free
In music that filled her breast.
She met, jly a bright ahop.window,
An urchin timid end thin,
Who, with limbs that shook, and a yearn.
ing look,
Wei mistily gleaming in
At the rows and varied clusters
Of slippers and shoos outspread,
Borne shimmering keen, bet of .sombre
sheen,
Some purple and green and red.
His pale lips moved and mnrmurad 1
Brit of what she could not hear,
And oft on his folded hands would fall
The round of a bitter tear.
"What troubles you, child 4" she aeked
him,
In a voice like the May•wind sweet,
He turned, and while pointing dolefully
To hie naked and bleeding feet,
"1 was praying fey shoes," lie answered ;
• "(Just look at the splendid show I)
I was praying to God for a alogia pair,
The sharp stones hurt me so,"
She led him, in museful silence,
At once through the open door,
And his hope grew bright, lilts a fairy
sight,
That fliekorod and danced before 1
And there he was Washed and tended,
,And hie'emall, brown feet were shod,
,And 119 pondered there on bis Widish
prayer,
And the marvellous answer of God.
Above him his keen gaze wandered,
• How strangely front shop and sheif,
Till it almost roomed that hs fondly
dreamed
Of looking on God Himself,
The lady bent over and whispered :
"Aro you happier now, my lad 7"
He started and all his soul flashed forth
In a gratitude swift and glad.
"Happy 9-011, yes 1—I am happy 1"
Then (wonder with reverence rife,
His eyes aglow and his voice sunk low.)
"Please tell the 1 Ara yon God'e wife 2"
PROHIBITION PLEBISCITE
To be 'taken January est, 109.t.
SYNOrets OP THE PLEBISCITE ACT.
In response to a large number of peal.
tions from Ohurohes, Tomperanee So•
oietiee and Munioipal Counoils, the
Ontario Legielatm•o at its session of 1893
passed an Aot providing for the laking,
on the 1st day of January, 1801, a vote of
the electors of the Province of Outario
on the question of immediate total prohi•
liitian. This article sets out the most
important features of that Act.
From the statement above made it will
bo seen at once that the vote to be taken
will be simply an expression of opinion
of the voters. It will not have any direct
legislative effect. If in favor el prohibi-
tion, it will, however, be a direct demand
from the people of Ontario upon their
represenitttives for the eunotmenb of 0
law of total prohibition.
The Combs have not yet dsoided
whether or not the Ontario Legislature
has power to meat a .general law of
Prohibition for the Province. Questions
are, however, before the Supremo Court
of Oanada, the final answer to which is
expected to make thls matter definite
and clear, The expression of opinion by
rho people will be intended for either the
Provincial Legislature or the Dominion
Parliament, according to tbo decision of
the Courts ae to which body has the
power to meat the desired law.
VOTING.
The vote will be taken by ballot, at the
time and places at which the munioipal
elections will be held for 1804. The
ballots to be need will be in the following
form •
The voter will marls his ballot by pub
ing a cross opposite the word expressing
he answer he desires to give to th
question asked. The instructions to b
printed and posted in eaoh polling place
will contain the following statement :
Electors 10 voting "yes" on this
ex-
pressing an opinioconsidered
ins favor of poohi-
bitiou to the extent to .vhiea the
Legislature of this Province or the
Parliament of Canada has juris-
diction, as may be determined uy
the court of Hunt resort.
Polling will commence at Mee o'clock
in the forenoon, and will aloes at five o' -
cloak in the afternoon.
In municipalities in which the Muni-
oipal elections aro by acclamation, the
polls will, nevertheless, be open for the
taking of the Plebiscite.
00010.90 OA THE VOTE.
It will thus be seen that an affirmative
reply to the question asked will be a
declaration that the voter desires the
Legislature to at once suaot all the pro•
bibition that the decision to be given will
warrant that body in enaotibg, and that
he desires the Dominion Parliament to
exeroise to the fullest extent the prohi-
bitory power that it will be declared to
possess.
A substantial majority for prohibition
will praotionlly mean an appeal to the
Domiuion Parliament and to the Pro-
vincial Legislature for all the restraint
that awls of the bodies named sen im-
pose upon the liquor traffic.
The qualification for voting at this
elation is the being on the last certified
Voters' Liet. For men the list used will
be Parte I and III of the printed list,
that ie the list of man eutitled to vote at
elections to the Legislative Assembly.
The women entitled to vote are those
qualified to vote at Municipal elections.
Their names will be found on Part II of
lbs printed Ifsb.
Those persons opposed to prohibition,
and those favoring prohibition, are re•
apeotivoly entitled to be represented in
each polling plane during the voting and
the counting of the votes by a duly ap-
pointed scrutineer. Any of these
scrutineers may require the Deputy Re.
turning OMeer to swear a voter its to his
identity, or right to vote.
If the Proviuoe of Ontario dsolaree by
a strong majority in favor of total prohi-
bition a deoided advance will have been
made towards the total suppression of
the liquor traffic.
Such a majority will be a definite,
practical demand that legislators will be
compelled to recognize and respect.
These legislators will have more clearly
expressed than ever before, the desire of
their constituents for effective t0mperanee
legislation,
Such a victory will completely silence
those who declare that the people do not
favor prohibition. It will dispose of lbs
old misrepresentation that "the country
is not ripe." The educative effect of the
voting, and the, preoeding oampatgning,
will be of great value to the prohibition
clause. A strong majority for prohibition
will give friends of this reform cond.-
deem, enbhtisiaam, deberminaLton and
power, that will immure for them epeedier
and fuller ouai)ess then could have been
attained without the assietisnio of this
method of ascertaining their true post.
tion.
The result of the voting will show
Where the cause is strong and where it is
weak, It will show workers where they
need 10 put forth most effort and also
what lilaoesaro so far advanced that
local option by-laws may at onto be sub•
mjttod in theta With good prospects of
succebs. In this way, prohibition may
be aotually attained 111 a great part of
the provi'noe of Ontario, by May deb,
1894.
In this contest, temperance workers
will learn Who, among aspiring public
men, are their true friends. They will
learn who are sufficiently favorable to
prohibition to work hard for a enbstan•
.fel majority. They will thus learn who
Gan be relied upon to help diem in
Parliament, Logielatnrs and Municipal
Councils, better than they could learn
from mere eleobion•tims promises; and
expressions of opinion, With the vote
taken, and the Court decision given, the
way will be clear for further advance.
If this province dsolaree unmistakably a
desire for immediate total prohibition,
then the legislative body having power to
grant that boon, must respond to the
people's request. A victory ho lbs
plebiscite will certainly hasten the
advent of total prohibition.

grant that boon, must respond to the
people's request. A victory ho lbs
plebiscite will certainly hasten the
advent of total prohibition.
